The battlefield originally chosen by Kazuo Shuki for sniping the 11th Division was Xiaohuangdan, located northwest of Wong Chuk Hang. However, before he could arrange the battlefield, the 11th Division's attack came. Therefore, the Japanese army could only rely on Conduct defensive operations on private houses in Xiaohuangdan,
The style of play of the 11th Division is also typical of the Sichuan Army. Except for the reserve team of one regiment, Rao Guohua pounced on all other troops. This is equivalent to three brigades of troops. The three brigades are divided into three groups: left, middle and right. Lu stormed towards Xiaohuangdan. The 36th Regiment's first-line sniper position on the outermost side only resisted for half an hour before it could no longer withstand it. The captain of the Third Brigade, Minxiao Ikeda, requested to retreat. The Third Brigade originally had more than 1,200 soldiers. After half an hour, there were only more than 700 people left, including more than 200 wounded. At this time, the 411th Regiment, which had the strongest offensive, had broken through the brigade's defense line and was now under the command of the regiment leader Yang Jin. Leading the subordinates to charge deeply,
Rao Guohua followed closely behind the large army with the reserve team. He kept watching the battlefield with a telescope. Seeing the actions of the 411th Regiment, he said with appreciation: "Captain Yang did a good job. We can try to remove these Japanese soldiers from the Japanese army." Dig out the mid laner in the big army."
Taking advantage of the time delayed by the Third Brigade's sniper attack on the front line, Shumu Kazuo was commanding the troops to dig fortifications nervously. The Jizuo Army was very puzzled by his actions. He felt that as an elite standing division of the Imperial Army, in such a situation Under such circumstances, we should take the initiative to attack. How can we hand over the initiative of the battle to the opponent's hands? Preset position defense, doesn't this just give the 11th Xuexue Division an opportunity to assemble its troops, so that it can form a breakthrough with superior forces? At this time, there was no respect for superiors and subordinates at all. He was completely disappointed with the conservative captain of the company, Kazuo Shumu. He shouted: "Your Excellency, why do you want to defend? Why don't you take the initiative to attack? We can only take the initiative to attack." Only then can it be possible to drive the 11th School Division away from here. Even if the 11th School Division cannot break through our line of defense, can't they go around it? Your Excellency, you are stupid to do this."
Shumu Kazuo glared at him coldly and snorted: "We'll find out later if you're stupid or not. Yoshizuo-kun, please remember your identity. You have no right to question my order. If you want to take the initiative to attack, Then, if there is a chance later, I will grant your wish, but the premise is that we must first withstand this wave of Chinese attacks."
The third brigade withdrew, and the surviving Japanese looked pale as if they had been severely stimulated. They were just gasping for air. Ikeda Minxiao was shot in the left arm and was temporarily hung on his chest. When the troops withdrew to the village to rest, he reported to Kume Kazuo: "Sir, the firepower of the Chinese is too fierce, and they have so many machine guns. I think our 36th Regiment alone may not be enough to complete the sniper attack." Task."
Ji Zuojun saw the scene of the Third Brigade in his eyes and couldn't help but be very frightened. Although he had not been with the 9th Division for a short time, he still had a clear understanding of the combat power of this unit. According to his calculations, the Three Brigades Even if the more than 1,000 people in the brigade face the Chinese troops of more than 10,000 people, there is absolutely no problem in holding on for half a day in such a hilly area. But now, they only lasted for half an hour. Is the Xuebing Army better than the Imperial Army? Is the army still strong?
Half an hour was not enough to build strong defenses, but at this time, facing the fierce attack of the 11th Gakushu Division, Shuki Kazuo could no longer care about it. He only left one brigade as a reserve, and the other three brigade were all On the top, if you want to resist the attack of the 11th School Division and drag it firmly here,
There are not many skills to speak of in positional offensive and defensive warfare. The comparison between the two sides is firstly the number of troops, and then the equipment and morale. The Xuebing Army undoubtedly has an advantage in terms of equipment. Although there is no artillery, the existence of automatic rifles It was enough to make up for this loss. At the beginning of the charge, many people were lost due to the Japanese artillery fire. However, once they broke into within a thousand meters, the Japanese artillery lost their effectiveness. At this time, the competition between the two sides was entirely about will and strength. Equipped,
"Brothers, charge." The 411th Regiment is still charging first. The regiment suffered a lot of losses in the sudden advance. The company at the front was almost completely destroyed. However, the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment had no intention of retreating. Because of the casualties of their brothers and friends, all the young soldiers wanted to do was take revenge. The guns in their hands roared angrily, and they yelled angrily: "Oh my god, kill, kill these sons of bitches." ."
Speaking of the difference between the Xuebing Army and other Chinese armies, the most obvious point is that senior officers have no idea of conserving their strength. Therefore, when friendly forces need support, even if they know that their own troops rushing forward may lead to death, as long as there is a glimmer of hope , as long as the order is delivered, no one will care about the losses of the troops,
According to the rules on the battlefield, once the damage of a unit exceeds 30%, then the unit may face collapse. According to the Japanese experience, once the damage of the Chinese army exceeds 15%, then this unit will definitely choose next strategic retreat,
In that time and space, too many such battles resulted in the defeat of some major battles, and Chiang Kai-shek also punished a group of people for this, but it was useless, because his own troops involved personal interests and status, so this kind of thing happened one after another and could not be completely banned. ,
The loss rate of the 411th Regiment soon exceeded 50%. The regiment leader Yang Jin was shot twice and was carried down. However, he had no intention of letting the troops withdraw to rest. In fact, even if he ordered the retreat at this moment, It is estimated that not many officers and soldiers of the regiment will listen to him, because the retreat order from the division headquarters has not yet been issued.
The tenacious will shown by the 11th Xuexi Division made Kazuo Shumu secretly frightened. Ji Zuojun even shut his mouth tightly and never mentioned any active attack again.
A platoon of soldiers fell under heavy machine gun fire, and another platoon of soldiers rushed up. Behind them, there was a steady stream of large Chinese troops. This scene was unexpected by the Jizuo Army. , who had served as a staff officer in the Kwantung Army's military headquarters, he often fought against the odds when he was in the Northeast. Perhaps it was because he was used to seeing the China Army flee as soon as it was hit, so when he suddenly discovered that the China Army could also fight to the death like the Imperial Army. When he refused to retreat, he was completely shocked.
"If we continue fighting like this, we will be broken through sooner or later." He murmured to Kazuo Kume, with a rather ugly expression on his face.
Shumu Kazuo had no time to pay attention to him. What he was most worried about now was how long his troops could survive such a crazy attack from the 11th Division. "Your Excellency, Major Yoshino is asking for help. They can no longer withstand it." Suddenly, The communications officer took the phone and shouted to him,
Yoshino's Fourth Brigade was responsible for defending the left wing. Because the left wing was an open space, the casualties on both sides were very huge. Only a quarter of an hour into the battle, more than two hundred corpses of cadets fell in front of the Fourth Brigade's position, and more than two dozen cadet corpses fell. The soldiers fell, and more students rushed up. The person in charge of the command was Zhu Zaiting, the commander of the 35th Xue Brigade. After the first round of attack was frustrated, Zhu Zaiting immediately changed his strategy and concentrated the entire brigade. Two hundred machine guns carried out fire suppression, and at the same time, 300 bombardiers were organized to carry out grenade suppression on the positions of the Fourth Brigade.
The firepower net woven by nearly two hundred machine guns firmly suppressed the Japanese army behind the simple fortifications and did not dare to raise their heads. This allowed the more than three hundred bombardiers to rush within bombing distance. Although the more than three hundred bombardiers Therefore, nearly fifty people suffered casualties, but after the remaining people threw two rounds of grenades in succession, they killed nearly half of the Japs in the Fourth Brigade.
After two consecutive rounds of throwing, Zhu Zaiting ordered the charge horn to sound and organized the troops to begin the charge.
The densely packed trainees rushed forward. Major Yoshino looked up and was stunned. The formation of the trainees was not particularly scary. The key was the presence of automatic weapons in the hands of the hundreds of trainees rushing at the front. The Wei Qing-type automatic weapons fired at the same time, and bullets rained down like a downpour. The oppression caused to the Japanese army was too uncomfortable. Yoshino saw with his own eyes that several soldiers were shot in the head as soon as they showed their heads. He could only instinctively choose to ask for help from Kyuuki Kazuo.
Shumu Kazuo still had a complete brigade, the military police squadron directly under the regiment, and the remnant third brigade that had just been withdrawn for rest. However, he had no intention of supporting Yoshino. He replied coldly: "Let Yoshino continue to persist. , if you really can’t hold on, call the artillery to carry out a covering bombardment.”
Ji Zuojun's face turned pale when he heard such a cold order. The communications staff member shouted loudly and replied to Yoshino.
Ji Zuojun endured it for a while, but couldn't help but ask: "Sir, why don't you give support to Major Yoshino?"
Kazuo Xiumu glanced at him coldly and said: "Do you think this is the most powerful attack of the China people? No, it is not the most dangerous time yet. Jizuo-kun, just wait and see, the China people The attack has just begun."
"Is this just the beginning?" Ji Zuojun's face turned even paler, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Kazuo Kume began to reveal a hint of admiration. He suddenly felt that Kazuo Kumu could become a leader in the 9th Division. It is really not easy to be promoted to this position when some officers have been demoted and recalled to the country. This at least shows that when the 9th Division encountered the student army and suffered repeated defeats, he had different results. With outstanding performance, I was too superficial just now,
Kazuo Kume was very foresighted. Not long after the 11th Hakusho Division launched a fierce attack, the Twelfth Hakusho Division broke through the defense of the 19th Regiment, appeared in the southeast of Xiaohuangdan, and then directly attacked Kazuo Hsueki's headquarters. launched an attack,
After receiving a report from his subordinates that enemy troops appeared behind the headquarters, Kyuuki Kazuo did not panic, which made the Ji Zuojun even more admired. Kyuuki Kazuo immediately began to arrange defense, and at the same time said to himself: "If you don't learn from the 11th Division, then I just learned from the Twelfth Division, but why did the Twelfth Division show up here, the 19th Regiment?"
Ji Zuojun said: "The location of the 19th Regiment should be to the southeast of our army." He suddenly thought of a question, and his face began to turn blue.
Kazuo Humu and him looked at each other, and both of them thought of a possibility. They immediately read the look of despair in the other's eyes.
